Pronunciation Learning Environment: EFL Students' Cognitions of In-class and Out-of-class Factors Affecting Pronunciation Acquisition
2018
The way a foreign language (L2) learner perceives his or her educational environment may affect their processes of L2 acquisition. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to explore English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ perceptions of their teachers’ pronunciation, in-class and outside-class factors regarding pronunciation acquisition, such as pronunciation activities, recordings, focus on form, peer pronunciation, listening to music, to mention a few. A group of 89 participants responded to a survey, via which the data necessary to respond to the following three research questions was collected. How do EFL learners perceive their teachers’ pronunciation? What is the relatio…
La relazione educativa “affettiva”: ripensare il rapporto tra scuola e famiglia
2018
Educational co-planning and co-responsibility between school and family have been a subject of pedagogical consideration for several years. The literature identifies critical points in the construction of educational partnerships between them because of transformations occurred both in family and in school: they seem to have missed their clear symbolic value. Once, the roles of the adults (teacher or parent) were more important than the persons who actually embodied them; now, instead, we observe a loss in the symbolic value of generational gap and this has implied a change in the educational relationship. It is a shift from an educational style mainly based on authority and norms to one ba…
Stars or constellations?: implications of cognitive studies for the dimensional model of emotion
2016
Uno de los principales debates dentro del estudio de la psicología de la emoción concierne a la concepción de las emociones como constructos psicológicos unificados (categoriales/discretos) en contraposición con el enfoque dimensional del episodio emocional. En este marco, el modelo dimensional de Russell (2003) destaca en el panorama académico al constituir una propuesta integradora que da cuenta de una serie de problemas históricos del ámbito de estudio. Con este fin, se realiza una aproximación analítica a dicho modelo y se argumenta su viabilidad. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo revisar la evidencia empírica a favor de cuatro hipótesis que sostiene el modelo dimensional de Russ…

Darbā tiek pētīts, cik lielā mērā angļu valodas mācīšanās motivāciju ietekmē tādi faktori kā dzimums, valodas mācību ilgums kā arī zināšanu līmenis. Teorētiskajā daļā apskatītas galvenās motivācijas teorijas, kuru izpratne ir nepieciešama, lai saprastu galvenos motivācijas konceptus otrās valodas apguvē. Balstoties uz informāciju, kas iegūta aptaujājot vidusskolas skolēnus, praktiskajā daļā izskaidroti un interpretēti faktori, kuri visvairāk ietekmē skolēnu motivāciju mācīties angļu valodu.

Counterdispositional Conscientiousness and Wellbeing: How Does Acting Out of Character Relate to Positive and Negative Affect at Work?
2020
Conscientiousness is typically seen as a positive or desired personality trait in the workplace, with the overall assumption being “the more, the better”. Drawing on the behavioral concordance model, we challenge this assumption, expecting that the highest level of positive affect and the lowest level of negative affect will correspond at the point where state and trait conscientiousness converge. Using an experience sampling study and an event reconstruction study, we show that deviations from one’s level of trait conscientiousness relate to variations in positive and negative affect, but not in a straightforward way. While wellbeing was lower when people behaved less conscientiously than …
La paura di pensare
2021
Il saggio intende mettere a fuoco l'emozione della paura in relazione al modo in cui l’esercizio della ragione provoca in noi affezione, sviluppando una sensibilità specifica, una condizione di esposizione che concerne la vita del pensante. In ciò mi pare che la paura e, più in generale, l’intero ambito della vita emotiva, possa e anzi debba attirare l’interesse della ricerca filosofica, e specificamente, teoretica. La questione può essere posta sinteticamente in questi termini: la ragione fa paura? Pensare provoca una simile reazione emotiva? E se sì, in che senso?
Monitoring neonatal fungal infection with metabolomics
2014
Abstract The objective of our study was to evaluate the capability of the metabolomics approach to identify the variations of urine metabolites over time related to the neonatal fungal septic condition. The study population included a clinical case of a preterm neonate with invasive fungal infection and 13 healthy preterm controls. This study showed a unique urine metabolic profile of the patient affected by fungal sepsis compared to urine of controls and it was also possible to evaluate the efficacy of therapy in improving patient health.
The Food4toddlers study - study protocol for a web-based intervention to promote healthy diets for toddlers: a randomized controlled trial
2019
Abstract Background Eating habits are established during childhood and track into adolescence and later in life. Given that these habits have a large public health impact and influence the increasing rates of childhood obesity worldwide, there is a need for effective, evidence-based prevention trials promoting healthy eating habits in the first 2 years of life. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the effect of an eHealth intervention called Food4toddlers, aiming to promote healthy dietary habits in toddlers by targeting parents’ awareness of their child’s food environment (i.e., how food is provided or presented) and eating environment (e.g., feeding practices and social inter…
